Google Voice finally updated for iOS 6, Maps and Translate still due

Two months is what it has taken Google to update Google Voice to be fully compatible with iOS 6 and iPhone 5. Well, it’s quite possible they’ve been working on it for longer, but since iOS 6 has been out for 2 months, we’ll consider it two months. As it turns out, Google isn’t the only turtle in the update race, as Bing and Nike are other prominent apps that have yet to make good with the iPhone 5’s larger screen.

While an update to Google Voice is much welcome, Google Translate is yet to go that route and for those of us who have an interest in randomly wanting to know what a phrase looks like in another language, this is a bummer. Of course you could just use the web interface, or a computer, but it’s sad to see the progress on Google apps be so slow for iOS 6.
